Skull and Shackles

kuru

The Kuru are a race of degenerate humans who live in the Shackles. They are known to be cannibals. They live in the ruins of the Ghol-Gan, and some believe they are possessed by the spirits of those who built their (now ruined) homes.

The beggar Strong-Arm Hix claims to be the sole survivor of the crew of the Spindrift Reaver, who were captured by the kuru and taken to a flooded temple. The rest of the crew were eaten alive as a sacrifice to a god the kuru called the Blood Queen, but Hix managed to escape.
